Baby Nap Schedule by Age
Enter your baby's age in months and see how many naps to expect, their wake window, total day sleep, and the ideal bedtime.
How old is your baby?
Quick reference: naps and wake windows by age
| Age | Naps / day | Wake window | Day sleep | Night sleep |
|---|
Total sleep recommendations follow the American Academy of Sleep Medicine consensus (Paruthi 2016): 12–16 hours per 24 h for infants 4–12 months, 11–14 h for toddlers 1–2 years, and 10–13 h for ages 3–5. Newborns (0–3 months) are too variable for a consensus number — follow hunger and sleepy cues instead of the clock.

Frequently asked questions
What is a wake window?
The time a baby can comfortably stay awake between sleeps. Overtired babies release cortisol, fight sleep and wake more at night — so putting your baby down inside the wake window, even if they don't seem tired, usually works better than waiting for meltdowns.
When do babies drop to one nap?
Most transition from two naps to one between 13 and 18 months. Signs: consistently refusing the second nap, or the second nap creeping so late it pushes bedtime back. During the transition, an earlier bedtime compensates for the lost nap.
My baby naps fine but wakes at night. Is this normal?
Night wakings are normal in infancy, especially under 6 months. If naps total too much day sleep, night sleep shrinks — the calculator above shows the typical day-sleep range for each age. Persistent night waking with snoring or breathing pauses is worth mentioning to your pediatrician.
Should I wake my baby from a long nap?
Within the day-sleep range for their age, let them sleep. If a nap runs long enough to threaten bedtime (usually a late-afternoon nap past ~4 p.m. for babies on two naps), capping it at 45–60 minutes protects the night.
